4.3. Inserting and Removing Rechargeable Batteries
Screw off the battery cap on the lower part of the handle. Depending
on which handle you have purchased and for what voltage (Fig. 1),
insert the rechargeable battery into the casing such that the positive
end points toward the top of the handle. There is also an arrow next
to the plus symbol on the rechargeable battery, which shows you
the direction to insert into the handle. Screw the battery cap onto
the handle to secure.
Plug-in Handle
Prior to initial use of the plug-in handle, it should be charged for up to 24 hours in
the mains socket.
To charge Diagnostix™ standard rechargeable handles, desk
charger base (# 5500) is required. Follow “Instructions for
Use” supplied with desk charger.
To change plug-in handle, remove top portion by unscrewing
counter-clockwise to reveal 2 prong plug in lower portion.
Plug into electrical outlet.
CAUTION:
• If you do not plan to use the device for a long time or if you
travel with it, remove the rechargeable batteries from the handle.
• New batteries should be inserted once the light intensity of the
instrument becomes weaker, even on a full charge.
• To obtain the best possible light output we recommend always
fitting high quality batteries (as described in 4.3).
• If you suspect that liquid or moisture could have entered the
handle, it must not be charged under any
circumstances. This could lead to a life-threatening
electric shock, especially in the case of plug-in
handles.
• To extend the service life of the battery, the battery should only be
charged once the light intensity of the instrument has become weaker.
